Is this place really that well used, haha.Anyway, I'm keen to join this community of (very few active) interesting people. Also I'm interested in possibly modding Marathon and any advise/guidance would be appreciated

Well, if you want to try mapping, there's a community project going on right now, and I'm accepting small mapped out areas created by anyone. It's kind of a perfect opportunity for new people to get introduced to mapping, as a lot of the more annoying and difficult steps in the mapping process are removed. If you want to download Weland and give it a shot, that'd be cool.

Browse around; see what looks cool. This place doesn't get a lot of traffic, but the trolling never dies. There are some threads that give an overview of the modding resources that are at your disposal. Wrk's suggestion is also a good simple place to start for beginners.
